WHEW... 2015 IS ALMOST OVER!

AS 2015 COMES TO A CLOSE, LET US PUT
FEAR BEHIND AND FACE THE NEW YEAR WITH COURAGE AND RESOLVE FOR WHICH WE PRAY

PRAY, PRACTICE PEACE in 2016

God, Our Father grant us the grace to forgive, but not
forget the violence and terror, death and destruction and the deep
divisions across the world this past year. Let us not forget
those lives lost upholding your peace.

God, grant your intercession now, as
in the past and in the future. We implore your help in rejecting
all who embrace violence, practice terror and follow an ideology
mired in nihilism.

God, guide and protect us as we move forward in
a new year with courage, not fear. Let us reject those who divide, embrace the
transparency in truth, find unity in our resolve and receive your gift
of serenity and peace present each day.

conservatives who oppose pairing aid with debt and spending elements.” This
initial aid package of $15.25 billion breaks down this way. $450 million for the SBA (Small
Business Authority) disaster loan program $7.4 billion in grants for housing

AFTER FIFTY YEARS PARKLAND STUDENTS PUT CHILDREN'S LIVES AHEAD OF OUR WEAPONS CULTURE SATURDAY'S "MARCH FOR OUR LIVES" SHOULD BE THE WATERSHED MOMENT IN CHANGING HISTORY AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAINBy now there is no in America and across the globe that were left untouched by the children and teenagers who marched in protest in 800 cities. Of course the largest march of an estimated 800,000 caught the NRA and many in Congress off guard.

Andrew Young, former Ambassador to the United Nations and leader of the Civil Rights movement said tears came to his eyes as he listened to those children spoke with resolve and eloquently calling out Congress to ban assault weapons from our streets. Young described his reaction as "tears of joy" because this generation demonstrated their First Amendment rights in their march for what is true democracy.

The question now is whether this "bottom up" movement will gather force or dwindle as many oth…

YOU HAVE PLEDGED TO VOTE IN MID-TERMS, DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST As a registered voter planning to vote on November 6, you should check on your status. Vladimir Putin as depicted in the documentary "Active Measures" ordered a cyber attack on our election process.

Further, in Michigan and other States Russia actually accessed voter registration and by merely changing "one-digit" in your data effectively obstructed your vote!The Michigan Voter Informationpage is the web page where you can verify you are registered to vote.
